etc.

Ilikefood 00:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I did that now. See Image:Coilgun animation.gif. What do you think? --ZeroOne (talk | @) 22:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete on two images

I saw your proposed speedy delete on the two images I was working on. Can you simply upload a new version of the file (over the old one)?

My intention was to have x1, x2, ... x9 to be numbered squares, in order to show things like corresponding squares. Are you preparing replacement files? Bubba73 (talk), 01:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I already replaced them — see images with the same names in Commons. --ZeroOne 01:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Zero Hour - Generals Challenge.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Zero Hour - Generals Challenge.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Bruno

I apologize, I ended up putting it in the wrong place; the warehouses were designed by him. Kiasma was designed by Holl (probably everyone knows that, it was advertised so much :D) I guess I should have gone to sleep yesterday a lot earlier than I did :) -Yupik 08:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. :) I figured something like that happened. Luckily I spotted it quickly. I ended up translating the Bruno-article from Finnish Wikipedia, too. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 12:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Jehp! :D And thanks for translating the Granholm article; now there's one less red link in the Haapamäki railway station article! -Yupik 12:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello! As you have done some of the Finnish translations, I just thought I'd let you know I'm trying to gather them all in one place at (Wikipedia:Translation/*/Lang/fi) to make them easier to add, find and take care of. Thank you for your contributions! -Yupik 20:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Straw poll on free software categorization of POV-Ray

Since you previously changed the categorization of POV-Ray, can you please comment int Talk:POV-Ray#Free_software_categorization_straw_poll Karnesky 22:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Done... Seriously though, it's not that big a deal, how to categorize an article! --ZeroOne (talk | @) 23:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for commenting. I think you possibly misunderstood the choices & I clarified them. I agree it probably isn't a big deal, but can sympathize with those who want precision and accuracy in categories and in the categorization of articles ;-) --Karnesky 23:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair-use image removed from your user page

Hello, ZeroOne. I've removed Image:Gobblet.jpg from your user page, as it is a copyrighted, unlicensed image that is being used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia fair-use policy and Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 05:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:User php

Why did you move these templates into userspace? Was there a TfD on them recently, or did you just take it upon yourself to move them? Mike Dillon 03:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I just took it upon myself to move them. Read more at Wikipedia:Userbox migration. They've really got nothing to do with Wikipedia so userboxes have slowly been moved from the template namespace to user namespace. There are automatic bots that fix your broken userboxes afterwards in a short notice. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 11:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

That's not true. MediaWiki is written in PHP and being able to find active contributors who can understand the MediaWiki software is helpful in figuring out whether something is a software bug or something that can be fixed on-wiki. Similarly, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are also relevant. Mike Dillon 15:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Then why are there userboxes like {{User sql-0}} and {{User js-0}}? They certainly won't help you find active contributors who can understand the MediaWiki software. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 16:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the zero templates were made for consistency with the language templates. I agree that the level-zero templates aren't very useful for any of the cases they're used in, but I don't think it's a big deal. The categories associated with all level-0 templates except for Template:User en-0 were recently deleted at WP:UCFD. Mike Dillon 18:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Programming-related userboxes are actually listed at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Programming, not Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia, so I think they count into the merging process. At least a couple of other boxes besides PHP have already been migrated into someone's user namespace. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 19:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I've brought this up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes#Programming userboxes and userbox migration. Mike Dillon 20:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Cool, we can sure use a third opinion. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 20:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Double redirects

Thank you for fixing double redirects like Atlantic Avenue–Pacific Street (BMT Fourth Avenue Line). However, you removed the anchors that they redirected to. --NE2 11:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Sorry about that. I was doing it rather mechanically and I wasn't paying attention. I find redirects to anchors a bit risky business anyway because the anchors are likely to change and there may be several anchors with the same title, at least in some articles. I'm glad you fixed them anyway, I would've done it otherwise. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 12:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

In this case, we determined a common format for the sections, so if we change any we'll be changing them all and someone will remember to change the redirects. Anyway, they help a lot here because they make it easier to follow along on a line. --NE2 13:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I see! Sorry again. Keep up the good work! --ZeroOne (talk | @) 14:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Chess/Categories

Although it's a relatively minor issue, I surely should thank you for removing the hard breaks; I have erred in the past in diminishing the accessibility of pages for users, for instance, with 1024x768 monitors, and I've tried to be mindful of that in my editing (especially because I had occasion to use a monitor of such resolution a few months ago in Mexico and then again a few weeks ago in Jamaica and found that some of the portal space pages on which I'd worked rendered quite badly). I will continue to work toward accessibility in the future, and I appreciate your catching my oversight. Cheers, Joe 06:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. :) I usually have the same problem myself... --ZeroOne (talk | @) 19:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

{{chess names}}...

...seems to work. Why did you think it wouldn't?--Ioshus^(talk) 16:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I meant that commons:Template:Chess names wouldn't work if included from here. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 19:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ohhh, ok, gotcha. That's just as well, though, because to use it on any other wikipedia, we will have to change the links, anyways.--Ioshus^(talk) 21:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Chess

Yeah, I've content for a few months just about ready but rather managed to forget about creating the fifth month/nineteenth week pages. Once I've created pages for a few months, I'll return the time-variable formatting and then will start a discussion at the chess WP talk page in order that we shouldn't encounter the same problem in the future.  :) Cheers, Joe 20:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Because the selected bio, game, picture, and article for April were up for but eight days and because, well, we missed the first six days of May, I have made April's pages the selected items for May and so have returned the portal to time-variable, with the provision that we'll be sure not again to permit the page to be a redlink farm.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Sir Killalot vs Hypno-Disc.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Killalot vs Hypno-Disc.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gobblet.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gobblet.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:MetalGearSolid2-Substance screenshot1.jpg)

Fair use rationale for Image:Worms World Party screenshot.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Worms World Party screenshot.png.

The long standing problems with the user named InfoCheck

Some information of which you might not be aware.

http://www.gothicchess.com/nalls.html

That person has long since engaged in repeated attacks against me, the game of Gothic Chess, and my patent. This is the reason I consider him an adverse candidate and a person that should be prohibitted from posting material to the Gothic Chess article.

GothicChessInventor 20:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your message. Well, I have yet to see any definitive proof that InfoCheck is actually Derek Nalls. I believe the hostility towards Gothic Chess, that you describe at the page you just linked to, stems from the fact that chess has always been an open, free game to play. Capablanca did not patent his starting arrangement after all. I surely would like to see the Gothic Chess patent challenged to settle this issue once and for all. (That's not a legal threat, don't worry. ;D) Note that I'm not taking any positions here, I'm just sharing my immediate thoughts.

No one can be prohibited from editing a single article in Wikipedia. People can only be blocked from editing at all or the article can be protected from everyone. —ZeroOne (talk / @) 21:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Happy_Trails_-_Cuddles_Giggles_Toothy_and_Petunia.jpg

I have tagged Image:Happy_Trails_-_Cuddles_Giggles_Toothy_and_Petunia.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.

Hello

Hello ZeroOne, I need your help in testing out something you actually requested from me a while back... just never got around to it. I think you'll be excited about it(in relative terms). As well, once you see\test this out if you have anything else like this that needs to be developed, just let me know. Shoot me a message if your still active on Wiki (appears that way) and if your interested in helping. Thank you for your time. MatthewYeager 05:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

updated my page to make it one string so users can copy it. as well, the other fields now display (whoops). Test it out, let me know if there are any problems or if there is anything you think the Wiki Chess Project could use. MatthewYeager 21:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, having separate tokens for the other fields is (unfortunately) necessary. Currently wiki offers no String functions for developers to use. This means there is no way for me to break up those entries. if wiki ever changes this, it would allow me to do things MUCH easier. MatthewYeager 21:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if you quite understood what I meant by combining the fields, so I've taken the liberty to do that myself. I've edited this template User:Matthew Yeager/Chess Render FEN and the instructions there. I just prefer to keep things simple and I think that with your original approach there would've been too many variables to remember. But maybe we should cenralize this discussion into Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chess as you started a new section there already? —ZeroOne (talk / @) 22:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the template, I definitely was not thinking that is what you meant =P i agree with the change after i see what you mean. everything looks good to me. as far as i'm concerned its ready to be moved into the normal template, but i suppose we will have to wait for everyone to test it out and agree on this. thanks for testing it out.

New JavaScript Chess Tool

ay man, i created a javascript tool for generating the diagrams (as i posted in chess project). i've created a test file of code that you can test if you like. I think its pretty sweet and soon it should be able to do anything...
if your up for testing it out, just go to your monobook.js and add importScript('User:Matthew_Yeager/test.js');
after you purge your cache you should see "render game board" on the top right corner of your wiki screen, click on that. once you hit "submit query" it will place the rendered code in teh results box, just copy and paste to where you want to use it. Let me know what you think and of any ideas for further functionality. MatthewYeager 05:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

finished the chess tool for all chess variants that i could find templates for (let me know if you are aware of others not on that page). its pretty sweet. dont worry about including the test script, use
importScript('User:Matthew_Yeager/renderboard.js');

its pretty awesome, if i say so myself : )
let me know what you think. MatthewYeager 08:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

After you import the script and and you purge your cache (for me, i use firefox, its shift + clicking refresh) you will see "render game board" link on the top right of your screen.

Greetings from Sentriclecub

Hey I didn't know you helped on project chess? I have already told chessgames.com to adopt some of the great ideas, such as FENdiagrams with headers/footers/alignable. How much work did you do on the chess stuff here? Big thanks from me, and I'm sure from everyone who has seen it. Also, got a Q--am I allowed to delete the stuff on my discussion page? Its a non-issue now and bugs me every time I see it. Sentriclecub 08:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to think that I've contributed significantly on the chess issues here. I consider my most significant contribution to be the introduction of the importance ratings here, which enables the statistics to be logged at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Chess articles by quality.

You are free to delete stuff on your discussion page. Just try not to alter anyone else's comments (save for minor formatting fixes), that's considered bad manners. Most people like to archive their old messages by creating a page like User talk:ZeroOne/Archive 1 but it is understandable if you don't want to do that in this case. —ZeroOne (talk / @) 12:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure I'm still here. :) You can always look at my contributions page and see that I am steadily making a few edits a week. I read your idea about transcribing the next game into Wikibooks. It is a good idea but that particular Wikibook is about opening theory, so you could probably transcribe only the first ten or twenty moves before someone would interrupt you, claiming that you are adding content that is not suitable for that wikibook. What's more, I don't think engine lines are very valid content for any Wikimedia project, nor would be the debate-like discussions that takes place in the chessgames.com forums.

I suggest you start your completely own wiki, like in Wikia. Wikia uses the same Mediawiki-engine that Wikipedia and Wikibooks uses, so you could easily copy the existing chess template there. If they accept your request for a new wiki, you'll get your own subdomain such as cgchallenge.wikia.com. I am currently a member of the NetHack wiki and a couple of others, too. Having an account in just one wikia wiki means that you have an account in every Wikia wiki.

Does this apply to wikipedia? If so, how do I upload this file? Thanks for any help, I am clueless and I always see bot-warnings on every userpage, and I don't want that annoying thing to show up on my userpage. Sentriclecub (talk) 09:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I read the stuff, and its not going to fit fair use, and the copyright terms of use aren't acceptable. I'll keep looking. Sentriclecub (talk) 13:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you got it right. :/ If you are looking for a photo inside the NYSE, you might want to use http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:NYSE-floor.jpg which is in public domain. Also a quick google search turned out this CC-BY-NC-SA[2] photo: http://www.borev.net/2007/09/crappy_bloomberg_coverage_spar.html I hope any of this helps. —ZeroOne (talk / @) 18:40, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
